I remember reading an article earlier in the year about how while most businesses were crashing, psychics were doubling their income. As people were losing their jobs and facing depression, they needed to seek out someone with some answers. Will they get their job back? Are they going to survive the financial crisis? Is there any hope??? Be it from a cookie or a machine, we all want to know our future. Only if it’s good, of course.
Whether these psychics’ powers are real or not, the best answer is to never hear your fortune. I am a skeptic when it comes to fortune tellers. I think they convincingly tell someone about a prediction of theirs, which in turn has that someone believe in this prediction so deeply that he/she wills it into existence.
My mother had an “unexpected” consultation with our family psychic. This man has allegedly been correct about every one of my cousins’ lives. Prior to the consultation, my mother also claimed she was a skeptic. Her story is that since her older sister didn’t know how to get there, she went merely as an escort and planned on waiting outside. But the second Psychic Man saw my mother, he started telling her his “visions” without warning. Oh and they were only about me.
His Mighty Visions:
1. Your daughter has the potential to become the President of the U.S. but she first must go on to get her PHD. Or else, she will never reach that potential.
2. Your daughter has the hope of being happily married, but she mustn’t get married before the age of 30. Or else, she will be a miserable widow all her life.
2 1/2. If she waits until 30, she will have a 10-carat diamond ring and be married to a millionaire. Or else, no diamond, not even a small one.
3. Your daughter is only going to be happy if she meets someone who was born in the year of the lamb. Or else, she will never know true happiness with another human being. (I don’t know any lambs.)
4. Your daughter’s name is a huge obstacle blocking any luck that can come her way. You must change her name instantly.
5. You must make sure your daughter follows all the things I’ve mentioned. Her happiness in the future solely relies on these things.
Before he started with the visions, he made sure to include that I was a very, very rare and special case. One he’s never seen before! And right when he ended, he made sure to collect $50.00 and offer a name change for an additional $300.00.
“Take it or leave it,” my mother said to me upon dumping this crazy fortune on me. “I’m just forewarning you of what you’ll be hearing all night from your aunts on Thanksgiving.”
“They care that much about my happiness?”
“They’ve already chosen new names for you.”
